RBP4 is weakly associated with subclinical atherosclerosis

As published in Cardiovascular Diabetology, an elevated retinol-binding protein 4 (RBP4) level was shown to be associated hypertriglyceridemia and coronary artery calcification, but not other cardiometabolic risk factors, such as hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, elevated CRP, and increased CIMT. The study involved 709 postmenopausal women from the Kronos Early Estrogen Prevention Study (KEEPS).

In patients taking RAAS blockers, n-3 PUFA supplementation decreased albumin excretion, NGAL, LFABP, and NAG.

Further hyperhomocysteinaemia (> 15 µmol/L) was reported to be associated with all-cause mortality (HR=1.47).
